(2) Of this figure, 21,189 notices have been paid, with a value of $1,290,870, and 6,490 notices have not been paid, with a value of $403,212.

(3) Of these 6,490 notices (as at 23 November 1999) 225 were the subject of a representation which had not been finalised, 2,270 were withdrawn following a representation to the Parking Review Office on a range of reasons (such as problems with the display of parking vouchers, medical emergency, or voucher machine malfunction), 570 had resulted in a fine default sanction, 44 were recorded as invalid because of computer system reasons, and 2,931 were due or overdue for payment.

(4) As at 23 November 1999, there were 476 unpaid notices, with a value of $29,506, issued between 26 October 1999 and 7 November 1999 in off-street parking areas which had not yet reached the 28 day payment due deadline.

(5) Four location codes are used by Parking Operations in their hand-held computers - "off street parking area", "public place", "loading area", or the specific public street. ("Loading areas" are four specific places in the Civic area, as defined in the Motor Traffic Act 1936). The Department has revised the information provided on notices issued in "off street parking areas", "loading areas" and "public places". In cases where motorists are in doubt about the place of an infringement, the Department is able to provide additional information or issue another notice which contains additional location information as reported by the parking inspector and held in the Department's computer record.

(6) During the period between 8 April 1999 and 7 November 1999 there were 391 parking infringement notices issued in loading areas, with a value of $31,388, and 1,559 notices issued in public places, with a value of $103,014.
